The key thing to keep in mind about BHD is that most people buy it for the multiplayer, not the single player. Novalogic does single player well enough, but it doesn't excell like Soldier of Fortune II or Medal of Honor. But they really shine in multiplayer where they provide enough good material to keep many people playing it 20 or more hours a week. Novalogic couldn't make smart enemy AI to save their lives, but human players make up for that lack online. I was shocked at the low score for the Gamespot BHD review when Gamespot reviews of previous Delta Force games have gotten reasonable high scores and the single player for BHD is actually better than in the previous games. I think the review should take into account things like the fact that BHD CTF includes multiple flags and Progressive Spam Points placed at strategic places over the map which make for excting game play while games like Soldier of Fortune II have only one flag per side placed at the enemy's respawn. That is so boring you might as well just play TDM. Its obvious the reviewer never played the stock CTF maps with 10 or more people online because they are mostly CQB and medium range gunning, with very little s****ing. If the reviewer was getting raped at the respawn, he must not be a very good player if he couldn't figure out a way to stop or avoid it. And the reviewer was wrong when he said the Black Hawk Down was based on a novel. It started as a newspaper series by Mark Bowden and then eventually got published as a NON-FICTION book. As far as I'm concerned the BHD game does gets the feel of the book and movie right and is a worthy testament to our soldiers past, present, and future. Trinfan*Zero*
